Introduction;
Renaissance
The renaissance
(= rebirth) is for the revival of arts and sciences, based on the spiritual
attainments of the classical antiquity (like the ancient Greek). There
are some doubts about when the renaissance started. There were some elements
shown in Italy around the 13th and 14th century. The latest marks in Europe
ended in the 17th century. So on the whole the renaissance achieved his
highest level in the 15th and 16th century.
In the Middle
Ages life was, for everybody, just a preparation of what comes after life,
the hereafter. In the renaissance that all changed; people only focused
on the beauty of life and humanity in stead of the hereafter.
Men started to
believe in their own brains. They didn't believe everything a member of
the church said to them. Also the capability of versatility became important.
Where in the Middle Ages artists specialised themselves in something, in
the renaissance they wanted to be good in many different things ('uomo
universale' = the universal man). So the expression of art wasn't any more
a 'must'; to make a living, but became more like a hobby, the pleasure
of making art counted.
When we talk about
exact sciences the renaissance 'just' officiate as a prelude to what was
going to happen in the 17th century. Several examples of this are: Galilei,
Harvey and Newton. Thanks to the inquisitive scientist of the renaissance
this men could come so far with their discoveries.
Proceeding from
Italy the basic idea of the rebirth spread out over Europe. With of course
Leonardo da Vinci as a prototype of a very universal man. The states: Florence,
Milan, Venice and Rome became powerful in the early renaissance. The entrepreneurs
of Florence were the most progressive. Rich families ruled this city's.
They made sure that there could be a cultural growth by giving assignments
to artists and by trading with other countries and city's.
The development
in England
The English literature
started way before the renaissance.
The original residents
of England were the Celts. Then the Romans came and captured England from
the Celts. At the end of the Roman Empire there was a great migration of
nations. New residents came and stayed there like the Anglo-Saxons, who
spoke old English. This old English is very different from the nowadays
language. Old English is very much like Latin. People in those days liked
to gather around and tell each other story's. In different versions of
course because everybody told the story a bit different than they heard
it.
In 1066 the battle
of Hastings took place; William the Conqueror was the leader of the French
army, he came from Normandy. William was the winner because he had a very
big army, he murdered the English king and became king himself. He was
the one who introduced the feudal system; England was being separated in
parts, every part had a Frenchman as the head of it. Because of the great
influence of the French the English language was changed, many aspects
of the French language are found in the English one. The language was called
Middle English, this was in the Middle Ages.
Then the renaissance
came over from Italy and France. Men were starting to think on their own,
so they all interpret the Bible different (Reformation)
Henry the 8th
was married to a Spanish princess, but she wouldn't give him any son's,
only a daughter. Henry wanted to divorce but for doing so he needed permission
from the pope, he didn't get the permission. Therefore England became protestant
en Henry became the head of the church. So now he could divorce and marry
again and so he did. He married six times but none of his wives couldn't
give him what he wanted, a boy. One time a boy was born but the child was
very weak en died soon. His eldest daughter became Queen, her name was
Mary (bloody Mary), and she was catholic. When she died another daughter
of Henry took it over, her name was Elizabeth the first. By her England
became protestant again. She was very popular, under her rule England became
a superpower in the world thanks to the traders and adventurers. Elizabeth
ruled from 1558 till 1603. After her James the first was King, these two
leaders of England were Queen and King when Shakespeare lived.
The Theatre began
developing. At first there were some priests who played a religious play
in Latin. Later the plays went from the church to a market square, the
plays were not so religious any more. In the 16th century the classical
drama returned from the classical antiquity, at least the ideas returned.
Acting had become a profession. So the next step was building theatres,
without then the things we have now they had to do it with sunlight and
no loudspeakers.
Some plays lasted
very long so the men who went to a theatre must have patience because there
happens very little and rhetoric was very important.
Not everybody
was happy with the plays, because they think that the players create a
new non-fiction and become a sort God. Also the plays attracted wrong people
like pickpockets. Around 1642 drama was banned out of England. Only in
the 19th century it appears again with names as: Oscar Wilde and Bernard
Shaw.
Shakespeare
(1564-1616)
William Shakespeare
was born in 1564 in a town called Stratford-on-Avon. In that time the change
from Middle English to early Modern English took place. His parents were
pretty rich.
When William was
18 he got married to Ann Hathaway and they had three children. Since 1592
his play's got famous, he was a writer and a player. Players had been moving
through the country for years to do their play. But this ended in about
1560, than a centre was developing. This centre became London. The Playgroup
in which Shakespeare played was called: 'The Lord Chamberlain's Men' because
Lord Chamberlain was their sponsor. The theatre 'The Globe' was built and
William managed it. In 1598 he was considered the most important writer
of England. The group of Shakespeare played several times for Queen Elizabeth
and when she died and James became King they found out that he would do
even more for them. He hired them, so from that then they called themselves
'The King's Men'. In 1616 the genius died in his bed.
In his life Shakespeare
wrote 37 play's, like Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Richard III, MacBeth, Henry
V, there are too much to name them all. These are tragedies but he also
wrote comedies. Besides his play's he was an actor and he wrote poems.
He wrote five different kinds of work:
Comedies: for
example 'As you like it', it usually ends with a wedding and sometimes
more than that.
Tragedies: (MacBeth,
Hamlet), it ends with the dead of the 'hero', the main character.
Historical plays:
(Henry V, Richard III), this work always goes about kings, about the history
of the kings.
Romances: (The
Tempest), he wrote them at the end of his life. It's part tragedy part
comedy.
Sonnets: Shakespearean
Sonnets also famous, it has 14 lines; the first three strophes contain
4 lines and the last strophe 2. His tragedies are the most famous of his
work. The main character is very well chosen every time, they are eternal.
You still find them in the 20th century that's why his work is so brilliant.
The appreciation
is still here and that's why he's exclaimed the Briton of the Millenium
lately.
Our expectations
of the film
Thomas
I think it's a
thriller, because much people will die. And I think that it will be great,
I want the fight to be very spectaculair and emotionel and that's precisely
what I'm expacting of the fights. So I'm looking foward to seeing the film
Harm
I had already
seen this film, so I didn't had expactations, because I already knew the
film.
Simon
After reading
the summary of the film, I knew what the film was all about. I knwe the
whole story. Still, I was expecting a real 'Braveheart'-like movie with
a lot of violence. Possibly because Mel Gibson played in it. If I had thought
a little bit harder I should have known it wasn't like that. Last year
I acted in a play by shakespeare –Macbeth- and I already knew what shakespaere
stories where all about.
On the whole I
expected a really great film.
Niels
I didn't had any
expatations.
Answers on question
three to twelve
3a When we
take Hamlet in consideration, you see that he has a complicated personality.
Do you like him? Why or why not?
Hamlet is a very
clever guy. Everybody thinks that he's mad, but it's all fake. That's why
I like Hamlet very much, because he's fooling them all. Another thing about
Hamlet that I appreciate very much is, that he was crazy about a girl from
a lower class, he didn't feel himself any better then others, because he
was a prince. The father of that girl thought that Hamlet tried to use
his daughter, but it was real love.
He loved his father
very much, and he was determined to kill the murderer of his dad and at
the end when he's almost dying he kills his uncle and took his revenge.
Another thing I liked about Hamlet is that he loved his mother very much
although she married the murderer of his father.
3b Try to give
a description of Hamlet at each of this moments. How does he behave, what
is his temper like?
* When the whole
castle is having a feast, Hamlet wants to talk to the ghost of his father.
He thinks other nations detest them because his "friends" are drinking
to much. He also detest this parties, and doesn't understands why they're
drinking to much.
* At the moment
the ghost appears he's very afraid, anxious. But he wants to know what's
going on so he follows the ghost, although the others tried to stop him.
When the ghost tells him that hamlet his father is murdered, he's very
shocked, especially because his uncle, who's the king at the moment and
who is married to his mother, is the murderer. Hamlet is very angry and
is determined to kill his uncle just like his father told him to do. He
is angry because it was an act of cowardice, just sneeking up on his father,
when he was a sleep, and poison him. When the ghost is gone he's very confused
and he doesn't know what just happened to him.
* When Oophelia
returns his gift he pretends that it doesn't matters to him and that he
never loved her anyway. He also pretends that he's mad but that isn't true.
He's very sad that she returns his gift but he don't want to show that
to her and her father who's listening. That's also the reason that he plays
a mad man.
* At the play he
also pretends that he's mad but he's fixated on the reaction of his uncle.
He's very nervous because this is the moment he will discover if the ghost
was right or wrong, it is the hour of truth. The king goes mad at that
moment because he knows that someone got to know about the murder. This
makes Hamlet very happy, and he told his friend Horatius that his uncle
was the murderer.
* Just before he
kills Polonius he was very angry at his mother because he thought that
his mother forgot his father, when he saw the carpet moving he killed Polonius
who was standing behind the carpet. While stabbing into the man behind
the carpet he thinks the man is his uncle. When he finds out the man behind
the carpet isn't his uncle, but Polonius he doesn't care that he killed
Polonius because the man made the mistake to interfere with him. This makes
him very sad. After this happens he told his mother that he just pretends
to be mad. And she promised to keep it as a secret.
* On the boat to
England he shows how smart he really is, he changes the letters, and this
saves his life, because the king gave the orders to kill Hamlet. Hamlet
acted very coolheaded.
* At the grave
he was very suprised to see his old friend Yorick, this was the old skeleton-head.
He thinks back about that time, it makes him smile. A few minutes later
he saw Ophelia lying at the grave, she wasdead. This makes Hamlet very
sad because he really loved Ophelia. The other people don't really believe
this but his mother does. She wanted Hamlet to marry Ophelia.
Now he lost two
people he really loved.
* At the fight
with laertes he was very selfassured, he thought he was going to win. He
acted like a real sportman. During the fight he made jokes and everybody
liked him.
During the fight
the king did poison in the wine, it was the meaning to kill Hamlet with
this wine. But Hamlet his mother drunk this wine and died.Another way to
kill Hamlet was with Laertes his sword, there was put on a special oil,
one scratch will killHamlet. After Laertes cut Hamlet in his arm, he was
hit himself with his own sword. After this happened Laertes told Hamlet
that the king was the traitor, because Laertes thought in himself: "shit,
what I'm know doing is wrong." After Hamlet heared this, he took his revenge.
Just before he passes away he asked Horatius to tell the people about his
life and to clean his name. He doesn't wan't to die with a bad name.
4 Hamlet's doubts
1. (Act 1, scene
5)
The ghost tells
Hamlet that Claudius is responsible for his father's death. Hamlet doesn't
know what to think, at first he has his doubts about the ghost, maybe it's
from hell, but he takes the risk of believing the ghost. He is also very
shocked about what he just heared and though he believes the ghost he has
to think things through. He couldn't just run downstairs and kill his uncle
(the king). Everybody would think he is nuts. That's why he makes a plan
to find out if the ghost is telling the truth.
2. (Act 3, scene
2)
When the play
is shown Hamlet wants to scare the king and let him know that somebody
knows what the king did to his father the, former king.
3. (Act 3, scene
3)
Claudius (Hamlet's
uncle, the king) is praying when Hamlet walks in sword drawn. But Hamlet
doesn't kill him because if Claudius is knelt in prayer he would go the
heaven. This is not what Hamlet wants. He wants sweet revenge, Claudius
must go to hell instead of heaven so Hamlet waits again.
4. (Act 4, scene
3)
In this scene
there isn't a real opportunity to kill Claudius because there are a lot
of people with him. Also Hamlet would look like a crazy murderer if he
first kills Polonius and then also the king, maybe the guards would throw
him in prison.
5. (Act 5, scene
2)
When Hamlet returns
from England he is the blame of the death of Ophelia and Polonius. He would
cause much more trouble if he kills the king also. His mother would also
be hurt and I don't think anybody would believe him if he sayd Claudius
killed his father.
5a The women
in Hamlet play a very important part. Describe the relation between Hamlet
and his mother.
Hamlet appreciates
his mother very much but when she marries the murderer of his father just
two months after his father died he doesn't understand his mother. He thinks
his mother has got no feelings and he's very angry at his mother. He also
thinks she is very weak, because she is married to the murderer of his
father and she's not regretful, but she's happy. So, when Hamlet is mourning
because of the death of his father, all his mother is doing is having fun
and marry with another guy. Hamlet doesn't understand his mother at this
moment, and his mother doesn't get why Hamlet is mourning so much. Later
in the film his mother wants him to marry Ophelia but her father doesn't
want that. Her father thinks Hamlet's crazy and he's just using her. Hamlet
his mother really loved her son but not when he's angry at her. Hamlet
thinks that his mother still loves his father in her heart, but that she's
pushing away the pain, by just trying to forget him.
5b How does
the relation with his mother influence his relation with Ophelia?
He wanted to revenge
Claudius because he murdered his father and married his mother. He had
not enough time for Ophelia at that moment, so the relation came to an
end. He had to take revenge. Claudius had killed his father because of
his mother (he loved her and wanted her). In that way his motherhad a big
influence on the relation with Opelia, the revenge was more important than
his relation with Ophelia.
6a Try to say
in your own words in four or five sentences what Hamlet's problem is according
to you.
He says that the
fear of what comes after death makes us cowards to end out life that's
full of suffering and calamity, Is it better to accept life or to fight
against the troubles of life? This is what Hamlet keeps thinking about.
6b Which of
the three translations appeals to you most and why?
The best translation
on "To be or not to be" is in my eyes the one from Bert Voeten (1969) because
in that the sufferings from life are told in the best way. It was very
hard to choose one of the three but this one gives me the same feeling
as the original –English- one.
7 Personages
Claudius:
This man seems to be an honnest man, but is a sneeky devil. He sneeks up
to his brother and kills him, just to become king and get married to Gertrude.
He's a deceiver, but doesn't seem to car at all. On the other hand he's
very sweet and caring towards his new wife; Gertrude. His plan seemes to
get together, but in the end the seed turns against him and , after accidently
killing his wife, he gets killed.
The Ghost:
is the spirit of Hamlets father. He tells his son Hamlet what really happened
(that he was killed by his brother) and that's his right. He tells Hamlet
to kill Claudius to get revenge. Of course Hamlet is going to do so, but
by ordering Hamlet to do so, the ghost inderectly makes sure the death
of Hamlet. Because, if Hamlet wouldn't have known this, he would have still
lived.
Polonius:
He's the one that tells Claudius and Gertruda of Hamlet's madness. By telling
this he almost kills Hamlet inderectly; Claudius doesn't want a mad almost-king
walking around and making lots of trouble, so he sends him to England to
get him killed. Fortunately Hamlet's smart enough and makes sure this doesn't
happen.
He doesn't want
Ophelia to marry Hamlet, he's a real intrieger. He even follows Hamlet
into Gertrude's room and gets onforunately killed.
Gertrude:
She marries only two months after the death with Claudius and gets in a
real love affair. This is rather odd and disrespectful. Fortunately she's
still on Hamlet's side, when he tells her what's going on. In the end she
a good woman after all.
Ophelia:
Because of the problems Hamlet's dealing with, she doesn't get much attention
of Hamlet. She doesn't know how to act and gets a little bit mad. After
Hamlet has killed her father, she gets totally mad and accendentily on
purpose drowns. Hamlet mourned a lot about her death, because he did love
her.
Laertes:
When he gets home and heres his father and Ophelia are killed by Hamlet
he gets very mad. On this moment Claudius gets him so mad, that he's willing
to kill Hamlet. Laertes and Claudius made a plan, that Laertes will kill
Hamlet during a fight with a poisened knife. During the fight he realises
he's wrong, so he isn't absolutely bad.
8 Revenge play
The following is
a list of genres or types of storie in which Hamlet could be categorized:
Tragedy,
because a lot of people die, people like Polonius and Ophelia who are actually
innocent, but die. Also it's a tragedy because Hamlet kills the father
of the girl he loves, Ophelia. She is a real nice girl but gets crazy when
her father dies and Hamlet is acting so weird towards her. The most tragic
part is the end because many charecters see one of there loved one's die.
Example movie: Legend of the fall.
Mystery,
because there's a mysterious ghost in the film. Also the To be or not to
be soliloguy is mysteious. Example: ???
Love story,
the love that will never happen between Hamlet and Ophelia.
Example movie:
French Kiss.
Action and adventure,
of course at the end the sword fight and the murder of Polonius. A adventure
that is not shown but really is, is Hamlet's trip to England.
Example movie:
Mad Max.
Soap opera,
the intrigue between Hamlet and Ophelia and also the quick re-mary of Hamlet's
mother with his uncle. And the things they do to each other not always
on purpose: the murder by Hamlet on Ophelia's father so Ophelia becomes
crazy.
Example soap:
GTST.
9 What's the
theme of the film?
The theme of the
film is revenge. The ghost of Hamlet's father gives Hamlet the order to
murder Claudius, the new king, who's married to his mother and has killed
him.
The brother of
Ophelia, wants to take revenge on Hamlet because he killed his father and
he was also the reason for the death of Ophelia. In the beginning Laertes
wanted to kill the king but when the king told Laertes about Hamlet, he
wanted to take revenge on Hamlet.
10 Which of
the actors known by you would you like to see as Hamlet and why? In what
respects would the film be different?
I'd like to see
Robin Williams as Hamlet. Robin Williams is a well known actor and has
a lot of experience, so I think he could do the job. Another reason why
I think Robin Williams is a suitable actor is because Robin Williams has
played lots of different characters, I'm absolutely sure he's able to play
the part of Hamlet. But I doubt if he'd be as good as Mel Gibson. I think
Mel Gibson is the a very good choise by the director.
Maybe Leonardo
diCaprio could play Hamlet. He excelled in Titanic and he had played in
another Shakespeare story (Romeo & Juliet) which he also did very well.
Leo just isn't very experienced and you need to be a very good, experienced
actor to play the part of Hamlet.
By chosing another
actor a lot of aspects of a film change, that's what makes the choise so
important and difficult. Which aspects will change I wouldn't know, you
can't predict those things.
11 a Describe
the differences between what you expected and what you actually saw.
We all expected
a film like this, we all had a few different things in our head. Simon
thought there would be more violence in it, Thomas thought it would be
just like the film seemed to be later,
11 b What are,
according to you, the positive and negative apects of this.
We agreed with
each other that the differences between our expatations and the real film
had no negative aspects, just positives. We all found the film wonderful
and we enjoyed it a lot. We might expacted something else but that just
made it more interesting to watch the film.
11 c Have your
ideas changed?
My ideas about
the film changed a bit, i found it a better film than I expected, because
their was so much emotion and sometimes it was very exciting and funny.
The writers of the film have succeeded very good.
11 d Have you
ever seen a performance of Hamlet?
We all haven't
seen another performance of Hamlet before. Only Harm had seen the film
once before.
12 b What are
the most important elements of a Shakespearean tragedy? Explain how each
of them can be applied to Hamlet.
The most important
elements of a Shakespearean tragedy are:
1) Important people
2) The force
3) Madness
4) Soliloquy
5) Death
In 'Hamlet' it
goes about a prince, prince Hamlet whose father is the king of Denmark.
So that explains the important people. The force, which is very important
for the play, here, his murdered father returns as a ghost to Hamlet to
tell him that he was murdered by his brother, the man who sits now on the
throne next to his formal wife. That's why he makes plans to revenge his
father, this is the main point where the play is about.
Madness comes
to Ophelia, the woman that Hamlet loved but it didn't work out. Later she
dies and this and Hamlet is very said, he loved her!
Hamlet is a very
clever man. He talks a lot to himself, of course the most famous part is
'to be or not to be', but there are some scenes more when he talks a while
to himself. This has to do with the importance of rhetoric.
The main character
dies of course, that's part of a tragedy. Hamlet dies because of a plot
against him. His uncle wants him dead because he knows that Hamlet knows
he killed the king of Denmark. The brother of Ophelia who thinks Hamlet
is to blame for his sister's dead is going to fight him. But he greased
his sword with poison and so Hamlet dies. But he dies after his mother
and uncle who drunk of the poison the uncle prepared.
Works on the
sonnets
Sonnet 75 –
Amoretti (published 1595) by Edmund Spenser (1552 – 1599)
1. The second quatrain
is about the immortalizing. His woman thinks he shouldn't do that. Because
it i'll not work anyway. So by doing it, you wipe away yourself.
The word 'this'
in line seven refers to the washing away of the name he wrote on the beach.
I think so because the word after 'this' is 'decay' which means in dutch
'vervallen, achteruit gaan' and the thing that decays is the name he wrote
on the beach so.....
2. Always, when
people talk about 'baser things' , they mean the more important things
in life. Such as love and health.
3. The conclusion
is the following: Even after death our Love shall live. Which isn't very
logical, I suppose that after death everything end. So that's weird.
4. Line 5 to 10
is in a dialogue. The effect of this is that is seems as if they (Edmund
and his wife) talk about it. And that he comes to the right conclusion
with the help of his wife.
Sonnet 18 by
William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
1. The beloved
person is lovelier and more temperate than the summer. The summer will
lose his beauty but the person never will. He describes the summer how
lovely she is but the person is lovelier.
2. In line 4 Shakespeare
says that the summer sometimes lose her beauty already in May. And in line
9 he says that the summer of the person eternal is, so that the beauty
of the person never goes.
3. It says that
the person till eternity in his mind is, she will never go.
4. Line 13 is a
bit dramatically; so long as men live and line 14 gives powerful the conclusion.
So the last two lines give a powerful apotheosis of the lines above.
The lines strengthen
all what is said above. There Shakespeare gives a lovely description of
the person and than in the last lines it becomes powerful and it gives
actually a conclusion.
Evaluation (question
12 a and 13)
We think it wasn't
so hard to do. Although it is difficult to write everything in English
sometimes. But the more time you spend on it the easier it gets.
The things we
liked about this project were:
Watching the movie,
Hamlet. We find it a good movie and it was nice to watch it.
Also finding out
what kind of man Shakespeare was is very interesting. I mean, you have
heard so much about him and at the same time you know so little that it
was great to find out about him. Over all we liked working on this project
very much. For the first time almost everything was arranged in time, only
Niels had some problems with a propor planning, but except that we didn't
had to do everything in the end, that made it work much more relaxed.
We believe that
this project was organised very well.
Our group worked
very well. Although we were friends of each other, we were able to work
on a proper way and we didn't spend all our time on social contacts, this
happens very quikly so I think it's great it worked out this way.
We think the result
is wonderfull. It looks nice and proper and we're hoping on a grade which
fits the result.... Some small things we would have done differently. But
on the whole it worked out to be great.
